The I/O subsystem in the camera is still fast enough that the buffer is a lot faster than writing to the card. I wouldn't necessarily want a system that is already maxed out anyways, I'd want something specified far enough above the current levels that it isn't outgrown in two moore's cycles. > > 2) Physically attached storage? How 20th-century. Think wireless. Wireless has advantages, until you get 50 people at the same event all using it and run into packet collisions. Then there are the security concerns. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
